Hey guys, I am a 25y old male Turkish and my current height is 173cm(5'8.11). I am planning to go for LON on femurs first; my target is 8-9cm. I have an appointment with dr—Yunus Oc in a few weeks. I haven't seen any reviews about him. I know Nicholas from "Nicholas' Leg Lengthening Journey" got his surgery done at wanna be taller but I believe his surgeon was different then.
So here are my questions
1- What do you think I should ask him?
2- How can I understand if he is competent or not?
3- After the femur, I want to go for the tibia and add 6cm 1.5-2 years later. After my full recovery, I want to be able to continue doing 80kg (170-180lbs) deadlifts. Is it possible to do deadlifts after a 14-15cm gain or should I go for lower height gains?
4- What supplements should I buy? Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM, Hyaluronic Acid, ZMA, Collagens, etc.
5- Currently I take around 2000 calories a day, I heard here on this forum that I should get 4000 calories more is it correct? Would it be a problem if I drink carb shakes?
6- I plan to do PT on my own so I'll buy a treadmill 46cm wide, and 120cm long also I have been stretching for 3 months now 1h a day. Do you think I need help from professionals?
I will do a diary about my surgery here with lots of pictures and videos, hopefully, everything goes well for all of us.
Hello, first of all I am Turkish patient consultation expert Tuğçe from Wannabetaller Team. We checked out schedule and we couldn't find anything about your reservation with Dr. Yunus. So, you can contact us again to finalize your appointment.
In addition, 8-9cm is not realistic and ideal for every individual. 8 cm is a maximum safe height gain in the safe zone. It can be 9/9.5 cm with the LON device company, yet it depends on all your physical capacity, painthreshold, the flexibility of the muscles/tendons/soft tissues/ligaments and so on.
If you are willing to do this surgery, you can visit our hotel and you can talk with our patients. Feel free about it.
